Lancaster County homeowners should have received their tax bills, which must be paid by Jan. 17, 2017, to avoid penalties.
If you have not received your tax bill, please contact our office. We will help locate your bill and make sure we have the correct address on file for you.
If your tax bill is in escrow, the original bill is mailed to the taxpayer. The mortgage company will gather their information electronically from us. To make sure proper payment is made, you can forward the mortgage company your bill.

As many of you know, I have made the difficult decision to move my flower shop from Main Street in downtown Lancaster over the past few weeks.

When I tell you difficult, yes it was that! My little Main Street corner location was a great start for my business.

The responses and support from Lancaster have been overwhelming over the last three years.

We would like to thank all the good people who made the Veterans Day ceremony and parade on Nov. 5 such a success.

First, Robin Ghent and her staff at the veteran affairs office, for a well-organized program. Then Mandy Norrell for a great speech, and all the Vietnam vets who were there to receive the honor they deserved.
